Football Italia revealed that the Italian club Napoli has prioritized Spanish player Juanlo Sanchez, the right-back of Sevilla, for acquisition during the upcoming winter transfer window, based on the wishes of coach Antonio Conte, who aims to strengthen the right side and lighten the load on captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo.

The site explained that the young player, who is 22 years old, has excelled remarkably over the past two seasons in La Liga, making him one of the most prominent rising defensive talents in Spain. However, Sevilla remains firm in its position of refusing to sell him for less than 20 million euros, having rejected several offers below this amount.

The same source added that Napoli faces strong competition from several clubs, most notably from the Premier League, where Everton is looking to secure the deal following the departure of Ashley Young and the aging of Seamus Coleman. Real Betis and Villarreal have also shown interest in acquiring the player in the near future.

It is noteworthy that Juanlo Sanchez has participated in nearly 100 matches with Sevilla, managing to score 6 goals and provide 9 assists in the 2024/2025 season. He also contributed to Spain's victory in the gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics, which increased his market value and attracted the attention of many European clubs seeking to sign him.

The report confirms that Sevilla's management will not part with the player unless they receive the full requested amount, estimated at 20 million euros.
